Hopefully this is in the correct area and someone has a solution for me.I just finished reinstalling XP Pro on a laptop (Gateway MD2614u) and I have no sound.Clicking on Sounds and audio devices properties displays :no playback devices

I had the same problem..If I'm thinkin right..your soundcard needs that smartaudio 221 thing and another microsoft thing both just to run one single soundcard. To make a long story short, I couldn't get mine workin either after downloading the microsoft(can't remember the name) sound thing and installing smartaudio 221. I had to use windoze update to fill in the blanks as it were and it decided to work.. Thats about my only idea..go to yer system properties in the device manager/control panel and try lettin windoze update find somethin. This machine is also a laptop in case yer wonderin..Sorry I couldn't be of much help..just an idea tosser is all *shrug*
